My friend took a photo that was similar to this only in the evening hours to get richer colors and only shows Buckhead and Downtown/Midtown.

Jersey City has really upped its game in recent years.

Yup. Here's one more just cause I love the angle and playful veneer of "City in a Forest".

The new 1,000+ ft tall spire height on the Comcast Technology Center, when completed, may provide the photographic vantage point to capture the Philly & NYC skylines in the same photo.

Tysons Corner, VA with DC in the background, as well as many small skylines.

Maybe someone can count the skylines. Or its just a ~50+ mile long single skyline (and South Florida's biggest skyline, Miami, is out of the picture to the bottom left):

Does DTLA & Century City count since they're all one big city?

Technically, S. Florida or the Miami Metro has one of the longest skylines in the U.S.. Just in terms of pure miles and its extent along the coast.

Absolutely LA's skylines should count. It's about skylines, not which logo is on the cop cars.

Miami's waterfront skyline is certainly impressive, especially from a low angle. I wish it had an elevated rail line running down the whole thing though.

I'm sure someone answered this already but that bridge is actually closer to Beaumont than Galveston or at the very least that the direction of it.

Thats a great shot Urbannizer of Houston. Its skyline is quite long and grand. I think Houston is the one city that will be the next big city. Now... its a big city already, but I'm talking it will be the next 3...4...5 million person city. Lots of potential. I think it, and Dallas with continue to grow by 100,000+ yearly for a while. (Metro) Might become more profound in the next 10 years (the changes) in terms of the core. I hope Houston reaches 3 million in the core fast. I think Dallas in the next 20 years will become the 3rd largest U.S. metro.
